safe_spatial_stats

A repository for analyses related to the SAFE 2024 soil nutrient sampling campaign.

At the moment, it contains two main analyses.

1. A search (using safedata) for existing data for the SAFE carbon plots and subplots. The code related to this is found in the detailed_carbon_data_search folder
2. An assessment of the spatial variation of the SAFE project vegetation plots. This involves downloading the relevant spatial data, (microclimate, topographic, etc) using the safedata system, and performing a principal component analysis to categorise vegetation plots. The code related to this can be found in the subplot_selection folder
3. An analysis of the soil nutrient data for the SAFE vegetation and carbon plots.

This README is likely to be the only documentation, should get updated with relevant details as the project develops
